vLAN Configuration on Bare Metal

Overview

This guide explains the vLAN configuration on the bare metal.

Configuring vLAN Interface

Avi Vantage supports vLAN trunking on bare-metal servers. If the Avi Controller is deployed on a bare-metal server, the individual physical links of the server can be configured to support 802.1q-tagged virtual LANs (vLANs). Each vLAN interface has its own IP address. Multiple vLAN interfaces per physical link are supported.

Note: Avi Vantage supports vLAN interface configuration on Linux server cloud as well. The UI configuration remains the same as explained in this document.

To configure a vLAN interface on a bare-metal server running Avi Vantage:

  1. Navigate to Infrastructure, and click on Service Engine (SE) where the vLAN interface is to be created.
  2. Click on Edit button, and the following pop-up window appears.
    vlan-baremetal1
  3. Click on Create vLAN Interface.
  4. Select the parent interface from the drop-down list, and fill in the vLAN and IP Address fields, then click on Save. The VLAN interface appears on the Service Engine Edit page.
    vlan-baremetal3
  5. Click on Save option again to commit the change.
